The lens

Nice info and a terrific capture George , Bet it carried a good distance.
HFF and a great weekend

A lovely picture of this lens. Lighthouses lenses are generally stunning!
HFF and have a top weekend

Oh my...this is just marvelous, George. It's positively WHIMPERIING for some macros of that amazing glass!! I'd be all over that thing...it's fantastic!! Thanks for the information too, totally fascinating to think about.

Thanks for your remarks about my thorny rose cane picture...it never occurred to me, until you mentioned it, that the image could be mistaken for an aerial shot! That's just amazing! And then I looked at it that way and could totally see what you meant. How cool is that?!

Thanks too for the link to your Antarctica picture...you sure did take a lovely set of images (I remember your series from a while back) and that one was super too. It was fun to see the reference to what you were thinking about and I can totally see it. Happy to provide a focusing issue for you, lol...it's fun to flip back and forth visually from what something actually is and what it seems like! :)

Beautiful shot. It's certainly an impressive lens.

Excellent shot!

HFF--George Ik wens je een Mooi Weekend

For me it looks like a green dressed alien with round eyes ;) HFF George...what a wonderful detail this is! Enjoy your weekend ;)

Beautiful lamp and lenses, pretty impressive. Excellent photo and fascinating information.

Yes, the lens from a lighthouse.

That is a beauty George, - really impressive. A lovely shot and it is good that it can still be enjoyed. HFF and have a good weekend

I really love fresnel lenses! This is a biiiig one ;-)

There is a similar lens in a lighthouse we visit on Whidbey Island. Beautiful!

Belated HFF and a nice Sunday

Well I can't beat that George :)
A belated HFF and I wish you a good weekend.

HFF

Good record of the lens. That was a LOT of mercury to have sitting around. Maybe it was the reason light keepers went mad, rather than loneliness?

I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't pass the OH&S requirements these days!

Spectacular!
